If so, how does its sound quality compare to Bandstand or Calkwalk TTS-1?

Quite better i guess, but?;, some reviews: https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/tech/east-west-quantum-leap-goliath-161578

If you might be interested in Halion 5, i have a full version license for sale, PM me. PS Occasionally Steinberg drops the upgrade to 6 (and some crossgrade prices) 50%. F

Never heard of this one before, from the review, don't know if this might create a problem in biab or not,

"A few problems found in Colossus patches are still evident in Goliath; the General MIDI sound set isn''t totally GM-compliant, and the combo organs remain unlooped. Although the violin patches capture the full range of the instrument, the lowest note for the fiddle stops at B, rather than G. Pitch bend falls flat in Crystal Tower Pad. Even so, the sheer number and variety of terrific-sounding instruments ameliorate some of the programming gaffes"

Pardon me if I am wrong...
Goliath is 11+ year old software...and I believe sounds where not updated since.
Halion Sonic has own "little" issues, but I think is a far better choice as overall sound engine.

To answer your question, TTS is very basic. Goliath sounds much better, but honestly I would go with Sonic.

P.S. a good SF2 sound bank loaded in VSTsynthfont which is included in 2019 BIAB will sound better than TTS.

I have just created a PAT file for BIAB for the Timbres of Heaven sound font for you as I know a few of you use it .

Here is a link to my web site Freebee page just scroll down for BIAB pat files And Sona .Ins Cake walk instrument definitions,

Easiest way to get the pat into BIAB is to simply copy it to:
